Debating Creationism is stupid.
Let me show you why.

All Creationism thought is based on scripture written in Babylon approx. 700bc which was mostly based on stories the Jewish people in exile shared about their culture.

The Earth is older than 4000 years so using scripture to try and validate it is stupid. If its older than 4000 years all of your argument falls apart.

Darwin isn’t totally correct either as major holes exist in his logic. Still debating it is a waste of time.

Don’t we have more important things to do?
Who cares?

No. The book of Genesis was written by Moses inspired by the Holy Spirit during a period of approximately 1450 to 1410 B.C.

When God created man he did so as a fully developed mature being. God did not raise Adam and Eve from a baby.

If He were to create the earth wouldn’t it make sense that he would create a planet fully formed and mature?

Actually, mankind, per the Bible is approximately 6,000-7,000 years old, not 4,000 years old. Jesus never said, "Oh, BTW, that Adam and Eve thing? Wrong! Those dates are REALLY off!" Instead, He said in Matthew 5:18, "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." In 2 Timothy 3:16, Paul writes, 'All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness'.

Jesus believed that the scriptures were true. The Apostles believed that Jesus is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. As a Christian, I also believe this. God is defined as omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient; and incapable of lying by His nature. Old Testament cannon was established in the 1st century BC, therefore each synagogue had the same scrolls (or at least some of them) and did not uses non-canonical scrolls. What Jesus and the disciples read at various synagogues were therefore, the same. Since Jesus (God the Son) cannot lie and did not correct anything from the Old Testament, I have to believe that it is true.

If there is one error in the Bible, it cannot be 'God-breathed', so therefore, one error makes it is worthless. Likewise, if Jesus either lied about the truth of the OT, or misunderstood it, then by definition, He cannot be God and our hope is lost, Christian belief is wrong and we, all people, have no hope of salvation and the whole Bible needs to be thrown out.
